Use Google Voice or other?

[Kyle Swengel]

What phone number app or service do you all use for lead generation in your marketing? I know many people use Google Voice but there are many out there.

I want to use one that records the conversation that will help with follow up. Does it have them leave a voicemail message right away for you to follow up, or does it ring to give you the chance to answer it first? What are the legal issues with recording conversations?

And would this same service work as an emergency number for tenants? For if they have something more urgent than would be best solved by submitting a work order through a tenant portal?
